[OT]Great... I hope no one I don't know looks at this. I might be sent to
court martial.
[T]Dismantling the nuke is a good idea. For all the electronic and
mechanical parts anyway. Of course the major problem would be getting the
radioactive material into your target area or country. And then there's the
task of putting the thing back together. There aint no Chilton's for a
nuclear bomb. You know, I think Arclight hit the nail on the head here.
Smuggle it in or DITY (Do it yourself).
